Kickstarter Spotlight: Chatting The First Law of Mad Science with Mike Isenberg & Oliver Mertz

Posted on by

At Awesome Con this past weekend, I chatted with comic creators Mike Isenberg and Oliver Mertz about their comic series First Law of Mad Science.

They’re currently running a Kickstarter to print the first five issues of First Law of Mad Science as a trade paperback, 164 pages, and a new anthology issue (68 pages). That’s over 230 pages of comics!

Check out the interview, and if you’re interested, you can pledge now to their project.

All submissions for comiXology Submit go through an approval process and when approved comiXology will transform the uploaded work with their Guided View technology – for free. Then the work goes on sale worldwide with the creator and comiXology splitting the profits evenly.

Expect reviews of each of these comics to see how the bunch stands up and which stand out!
